A new and economical synthesis of α, α′-bis(substituted-benzylidene)cycloalkanones has been achieved by the reaction of cycloalkanones with different aromatic aldehydes using nano-TiO2/acetic acid as a catalyst in ethanol under reflux conditions with excellent yields. Five new products and three new single crystal structures are reported.
Nanomagnetic‐supported sulfonicacid is found to be a powerful and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the rapidsynthesis of α,α′‐bis‐(substituted‐benzylidene)cycloalkanones under conventional heating and solvent free conditions. High yield, simple work up and easy recovery of the catalyst are the most obvious advantages of this procedure.
Sulfonated PEG-intercalated montmorillonite [(Mt/PEG)-SO3H] as efficient and ecofriendly nanocatalyst for synthesis of α,α′-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones
150 °C, showing excellent potential for application as a recyclable nanocatalyst. (Mt/PEG)-SO3H was used as an efficient and ecofriendly solid acid nanocatalyst for preparation of α,α′-bis(substitutedbenzylidene)cycloalkanones under solvent-free conditions, leading to many interesting findings. The excellent conversion values confirm that the catalyst has strong and sufficient acidic sites, which are
Cancer is often associated with chronic inflammation. In order to develop potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents a series of 26 diarylidenecyclopentanones (DACPs) Ia–Iv, II, III, and IV were synthesized. Five of the synthesized DACPs are novel (Ih, Ij, Ik, Is, and Iv), derivative Iv was characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. All the synthesized derivatives were tested
